On Campus Robots@Mercy At Mercy High School Burlingame, Robotics Club Moderator Jennifer Lambdin is engaging her girls in a course of creative engineering! The girls are currently building two LEGO EV3 robots. As soon as the robots are ready, they will program them to make their way through an obstacle course. During the course of the year, the girls also plan to build robots from breadboards and programming PicAxe microprocessors to control them.
Tearing Up The Track! Twin sisters Toni and Annie Breidinger ’17, are ranked in the top five of the Honda Performance Development Western Pavement Series. With racing in their blood — their uncle, John Breidinger, raced Formula Ford cars as a hobby in the 1970s — the Breidinger girls were behind the wheel since their father Charles Breidinger enlisted them in a Micro Max go-kart league as 9-yearolds. The Breidingers have grown accustomed to their mile-a-minute lifestyles. In addition to competing on the Western Pavement Series, they each rank in the top five of the Junior Rotax circuit in the Red Line Oil Karting Championships. The girls are outstanding students both on the Highest Honor Roll and are very competitive members of the Varsity Cheer Squad. Photos courtesy of Charles Breidinger and Roger Seymour Photography.
